Urban Battle Soul: The Hidden Power Within Me

In a wasteland overrun by mutant beasts, those who awaken a battle soul are few and far between, and the survival of the fittest is the only law of the world. Born in the slums, the youth Locke has suffered poverty since childhood. His father has vanished without a trace, his mother is bedridden with illness, and life grows harder with every step. In desperation, he unexpectedly awakens a rare Shadow Battle Soul, granting him extreme speed and the power of ambush. To gather the money for his mother's life-saving special medicine and escape the mire of the lower class, Locke ignores deadly danger and signs a black-market death contract: seven days of life-or-death beast hunting, carrying a massive penalty for breach as he steps into a abandoned hunting ground littered with corpses. Fighting mutant beasts in bloody battles and turning the tide in desperate straits, he gambles his life to survive as an ordinary human, fighting for a chance at life through bloodshed, only to accidentally discover a strange dark mutant energy hidden within himself. This unknown secret makes mutant beasts instinctively fear him, and also plants endless crises in his path. In this cruel, chaotic world, his road ahead is filled with slaughter, plunder, and scheming. The proud daughter of heaven, Lin Qingyue, secretly probes his secrets. A slum youth bearing all storms alone, using shadow as his blade and his life as his bet. Lurking and growing in the darkness, rising against the current in desperate straits. He will eventually tear apart his lowly fate, protect those he loves, and break through the heavens of this chaotic world! — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Urban Battle Soul: The Hidden Power Within Me — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
